On all tours, we put effort into bringing our guests to good locations for photography. In case they are not experienced photographers, we are happy to help with the settings.

We involve local people and small local businesses in what we do. Being in nature is our passion. Photographing wildlife and spectacular natural phenomena is our driving force.

Cod fishing in shallow water 🐟 🎣

Last year, we experienced some good fishing for po***ck at times. Yesterday, we decided to make the first attempt of the season for po***ck. It resulted in some fantastic fish, including two po***ck over 10kg, with a top fish at 10,5kg. These are probably the largest po***ck ever caught in Northern Norway. In addition, we caught some large cod and coalfish up to 15kg.

Today is the international day for the fight against illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing, and there is no doubt that we need to focus on this issue. Even though there are many regulations around fishing in Norway, both for recreational and commercial fishing, unfortunately, there are problems in both sectors.

Within our field, sea angling, some of the problems include camps that engage in illegal guiding and unreported catches.

Another issue is lost fishing gear, that damages areas and wildlife. This can be reduced by using the right kind of equipment and having knowledge about the seabed conditions.

An important goal during our trips is to increase the knowledge about our fish stocks, vulnerable species and how to practice catch and release. During the trips, we convey how to handle the catch correctly to improve the quality and to best utilize the resources.

Being in nature is our passion. Without our beautiful nature, we would not do what we do, and we like to share the importance of taking care of the surroundings during our trips and leave as few traces as possible. Be a considerate angler.

We have launched one of our boats and had some test trips. The cod fishing inside the fjord has been promising with plenty of fish, including some big ones. Last year, the fishing at the beginning of the season was really good with big cod, coalfish and halibut. Hopefully, we'll experience something similar this year. We still have some availability at the beginning of the season. If you're interested, please contact us, and we'll send you an offer for a fishing package tailored to your desires.

Our boats are equipped with Minn kota RT Terrova bow mounted trolling motors. The trolling motors allow us to maintain a steady speed and direction while fishing. This can be especially useful when fishing in areas with strong currents or wind.

The spot-lock will hold us in place with unparalleled GPS accuracy and gives us the power to stay right on top of any productive fishing spot.

The autopilot will automatically navigate the boat in any direction we choose and keep us on that heading automatically, even correcting for wind, waves and current.

Electric trolling motors are environmentally friendly, reduce our fuel consumption and noise pollution.
